Why can’t Stakeholders view the Analytics widgets?

That is a question we often heard. Now we have an answer. They can! Well, now they can.

We’ve updated the VSTS Analytics extension to allow users with Free licenses (Stakeholders license) to view Analytics widgets.

This means Stakeholders can view CFD, Lead/Cycle Time, Velocity, Burndown/Burnup widgets. For more information on these powerful widgets, read this topic.

A Basic license (or higher) is still required to access the Analytics OData endpoint or use Power BI to connect to Analytics. 

Enjoy!
